you might have done this in kindergaren on a ballon but i can assure you it works on faces as well...  newspapers left in watered down glue to soak  for 10-15 mins. put two straws in your nose and have some1 spread the mash on your face, let it dry and ready....  on the other hand u can go get some plaster from a convinience store, learned it a bit late myself too...

Answer 3

Go to an art store and get this stuff called memory magic or something that allows you to make mold of anything.

Get to tubes that will let you breathe.

Mix it up pour it into a baking dish and with the tubes in your nose of mouth put your head into the gunk. Let it harden

After you pry it off your face you can pout plaster of paris or wax or whatever

Answer 4

Use clay and put in on your face evenly and sculpt the eye and nose holes for your face leave it on until it hardens then carefully pull it off and bake it in oven, then you can paint and put designs on it!

Answer 6

mold making from live models does require really knowing what you are doing. Otherwise you can inflict damage on your model.

It's pretty hard making a mold of your own face, it's much better if you have somebody else do it for you.

The easiest way would be making just a mask for your face and using plaster bandages. You would leave a hole for your nose and eyes (then you have a chance at doing it by yourself, for how are you going to work if you can't see....). Below some instructions. Make sure you use plenty of vaseline, particularly on eyebrows. If you have a friend help you, make sure you both understand the instructions completely. Practice on a hand or arm if you have doubts. Don't even try to cover the nose.

From this face mask you can easily make a cast of your face from plaster. You can then use this cast to make sure any masks you make fit your face.
